Chapter 372 Close the door and beat the dog

The undead are not fools. They dare to transfer most of their troops from Bainan to the Jima Plain to participate in the war. Even if they see that Dai Lin has a sparse population and cannot fight a war of attrition, they cannot defend themselves even if they take down Shilin.

Capturing one Shilin Pass or two or three more cities will not have much impact on the battle situation in the north.

Dai Lin ordered an attack on Shilin Pass. In the eyes of the outside world, it was not so much to cooperate with the battlefield in Redstone Port and restrain the military power of the undead, but rather to express an attitude to the outside world.

Although the attack on Shilin Pass has little effect on the battle between humans and the undead in the north, Dai Lin must show a posture of cooperating with the Lionheart Kingdom and use this battle to tell the undead: Your attack on humans will be unanimously responded by human forces.

This point, especially now, is particularly important when Emperor Tyrell is hesitating whether to formally approve Dai Lin's founding.

After all, Emperor Tyrell was no longer able to exert influence on Bainan, so he went to the fore and admitted that Dai Lin founded the country as the only way to maintain his decentness. Dai Lin sent troops to Shilin Pass to Tyrell's slope: "Your Majesty, come, get down from here."

The above is the view of the mainstream military strategists on the mainland - whether humans, undead, or other race elites after Dai Lin sent the news to the Atm Skynet Magic Text System and informed the world.

But the Shilin Pass attacked by Dai Lin was a major throat road in the southernmost part of the country of Bai. It was the only national highway among the continuous mountains. To the south of Shilin Pass, there are three cities: Jiliu City, Sanyang City and Fenglin Du, which is the extreme southern end of the territory of Bai Guo. To the south of Fenglin Du and Sanyang City are the elves' Lihe Pass.

——In other words, if you take down and guard Shilin Pass, then the undead in the Rapids City and Fenglin Ferry will be the turtle in the jar.

Dai Lin chose to attack Shilin Pass instead of Fenglin Du, but it brought not small confusion to the local undead: What about the promised appearance? Why did you come up to me seven inches?

This confusion starts with geography.

To the west of Bainan area is the "Heavenly Axe Seal (Great Wall of Desperation)" and to the southeast is the "Royal Mountains" that are towering into the clouds and cannot be leaped. Therefore, Bainan is a relatively isolated hilly area sandwiched by two major mountains.

Shilin Pass, Jiliu City, Sanyang City, and Fenglindu are the southernmost closed areas in Bainan. They are called the "purse area" by locals because they are like a small purse with a hole in shape, and the thread-tied purse is Shilin Pass.

After leaving Shilin Pass, one hundred miles south of the national highway, there is a mountain called Xiuchuan Mountain. On the mountain is the largest waterfall in the country - Xiuchuan Waterfall. The waterfall flows down from the mountain and is extremely turbulent, so it is called the Yuliu River. The Yuliu City is located on the hillside of Xiuchuan Mountain, and the city is also named after the river.

The drop of the rapids in the rapids of the rapids in the rapids. The river water is turbulent and there are reefs under the riverbed. A slightly larger ship can easily hit the reefs, and the boat cannot control the direction in such a hurry. Therefore, the rapids became a natural barrier for the rapids, which is extremely easy to defend and difficult to attack.

More than two hundred years ago, after the country of worship came forward and organized several legendary earth magicians and legendary water magicians to jointly build the Xiuchuan Dam in the river section of the Rhyme City, the water resources of Rhyme City were stable and fully guaranteed, creating this beautiful mountainside city.

Before the Undead Rebellion, the Rapids City was the most fertile, rich in vegetation and the most populous mountain city. But now, due to the need for a solid wall and clear field, these cities have no living people and few living trees.

——A thing happened here, that cannot be said to be "interesting", but can only be said to be "self-inflicted".

Because Dai Lin once became famous in the Battle of Raven Ridge with a large number of tree people to attack the city. The undead were afraid of Dai Lin's "summoning tree people", so they threw poison in the wallet area, poisoning trees and vegetation, making the entire mountain top bare. As a result, during the rainy season last year, large-scale mudslides and landslides occurred in each mountain. At that time, the rapids were once blocked by muds and stones from landslides, and a large amount of river water flooded, causing extremely heavy losses to the undead, and even the trade routes between the elves and Sanyang City were once affected.

Planting trees means giving ammunition to Dailin. If not, it means giving ammunition to God. Last year's flood caused the undead to want to withdraw from the wallet area and hand over this broken place to the Principality of Stark. But if the undead withdraw, Dailin's power must follow up - the entire Bainan is of this kind of land, and if he leaves the wallet area, should trees be planted north of Shilin Pass? Can he still give the entire Bainan directly to Dailin?

So under the instructions of the Undead Emperor Sepras, the desperate undead cheered up and cleaned up the traffic in the wallet area in a hurry. Then, pinched their noses and planted trees with the minimum amount of water and soil that would not be lost on a large scale.

At that time, the undead thought that as long as there were few trees, Dailin could not use the vegetation to summon a large number of tree people to fight against the undead - they thought it was so simple.

...

Xiuchuan Mountain, where the Jiliu City is located, is part of the Jiliu Mountain Range in the east. The Jiliu River that rushes down from the mountain and the National Highway that descends south from Shilin Pass are walking side by side at the foot of Xiuchuan Mountain. A huge iron-locked wooden board bridge spans the banks of the Jiliu River, and the road up the mountain connecting the National Highway and Jiliu City becomes the only channel for the National Highway to Jiliu City. It is very steep and almost dead.

If you are fighting offensive and defensive battles here, no amount of troops will be enough to add this rapid river.

The river and the national highway continue to go south for 80 kilometers and then forked. To the southeast is a small level. After leaving the level, it is the widest and most watery river beach - Fenglin Du, which is also the smallest ferry in Baiguo. To the south of Fenglin Duke, the river channel is narrow and fast. It passes through various cave cliffs, and finally merges into the Lihe River and enters the endless forest.

The national highway split southwestward is a small outpost built on the flat ground. To the west of the small outpost is a long hillside sandwiched between two cliffs. Above the hillside is Sanyang City. In the Battle of Sanyang City, Dailin and Gina jointly killed Marshal Roland on this hillside.

Now this small outpost under Sanyang City has long been captured by humans and has become a node on land between humans and endless forests.

Continue south from the outpost along the national highway, and is the customs of the Elf Yunhu Military Region - Lihe Pass.

Lihe Pass can lead to Sanyangcheng by land, and Fenglin Cross by water. Lihe River, which flows into the rapids, is divided into two routes after entering the Endless Forest, and the tributaries continue downward, passing through the Elf Capital Holy Moon City, and entering the sea at Pearl Harbor, the southernmost point of the Endless Forest.

Another road winds eastward and northward in the cracks between the mountain peaks, passes through the Fulu Military Region of the Ebony Moon's father, and finally merges into the Crocodile River, which is the source of the Crocodile River. In other words, as long as you take down Fenglin Ferry, you can go through Lihe Pass and reach the Crocodile River, and connect the Stark Kingdom with the Lion Heart Kingdom waterway for the first time!

There is no particularly dangerous obstacle from Sanyang City to Fenglin Duke. If you want to capture Fenglin Duke, you can definitely take it down with the military strength of the Principal of Stark.

So if Stark just wants to make a gesture and act like a gesture, it is best to lead troops to take down Fenglindu - it is estimated that Fenglindu's defenders don't even feel like they are guarding.

But why did Stark go to Shilin Pass? Is Stark’s real purpose is Rapids City?
